Keisean Nixon’s Starting Battle | Green Bay Packers News

The Packers’ cornerback battle is heating up, with rookie Brandon Cisse locked in at one spot and Keisean Nixon vying for the other — but don’t count him out just yet. If Nixon misses the starting nod, he’d likely be the top backup, which suits the team’s depth needs — though it might sting for Nixon, who’s seeking a new contract. Some think trading him could be smart, given his veteran value and reasonable salary, but that’s risky: he’s a two-time Pro Bowler, and losing him would leave a hole in a room that’s not weak, just competitive. For now, Nixon remains the frontrunner — and if he doesn’t start, his best move might be to play out his contract and aim for a massive payday in 2027. The Packers aren’t about to trade him unless absolutely necessary. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
